Ikegami Honmonji

Ikegami Honmonji is the main temple of the Nichiren Shu Buddhist sect and is said to have been founded on the place where Nichiren—the founder—died.

The temple hall and a nearby pagoda occupy the top of a hill which is a short walk from Ikegami Station on the Tokyu Ikegami Line.

In October each year, the temple and the approach from the station is venue to the O-Eshiki Festival, in which large elaborate lanterns known as mandō are carried through the streets.
